It's not easy to say goodbye to a friend.

Especially to a friend who brought such joy to everyone who encountered her. Honor had the ability to spark a smile on the tiredest of ERT Members' faces. She never discriminated- she'd let anyone find comfort in her no matter the color of their skin, their housing status, or how stressed they might be after a long day of service.

"She's like a big teddy bear," says Julian, a current VISTA Member whose office was close to Honor's favorite spot to sleep, "She was the most well-behaved dog in the office. She will be missed."

Indeed, she will. Our hearts go out to Kathleen and Bruce who loved her dearly. Honor, you will always be a part of AmeriCorps St. Louis.
